Overview[]

Biography[]

Equipment[]

  • Green Lantern power battery: Abin Sur possessed a standard Green Lantern power battery as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. With this tool, he was able to recharge his Green Lantern Ring's power reserves every twenty-four hours.
  • Green Lantern ring: As a Green Lantern, Abin Sur wielded a traditional Green Lantern Power Ring. The ring was capable of creating light wave energy constructs and enabled the wielder to fly at great speeds and protected them from the vacuum of outer space. The power of the ring needed to be recharged once every twenty-four solar hours and its capabilities were limited only by Abin Sur's imagination and willpower. It's one restriction was that the ring was powerless against objects that were yellow in color.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • Pronunciation: Ahh-bin Soor.

  • The ghost of Abin Sur became a supporting character in The Spectre, Volume 4, where it was revealed that his spirit had been consigned to Hell.
  • Abin Sur was one of dozens of characters who were resurrected as an avatar of death during the "Blackest Night" event.
